Is it a Truck or a Car. My 68 El Camino

Is it a truck or a car. I have my opinion. What’s Your thoughts. Here are some pics of my 68 El Camino Project.

It's a UTE, lol.
If it has a bed it's a truck.
Either way, they are awesome and you are lucky to have one!!!
What's going under the hood???

I call mine mullet, business in the front, party in the back. I would say it’s a car, after all they are basically station wagons with the rear roof cut off.

Never really thought about it. Probably a car since that’s what platform it was built on. I like them a lot, gateway classics has a seafoam green elco with early 80s aluminum corvette wheels on it. Looks badass.

My grandpa had a blue 66 elco. It was a 396 4spd car with AC. Back then it was normal, sure would like to have it today.

I had a 73 with the original 454 for a long time. I used it as both a car and truck. Sold it in 2012, before it completely rusted beyond the point of being useful. That car did the best burnouts!

I put the El Camino in the same category as a Dodge Rampage, Subaru Brat, and Honda Ridgeline: a car with truck-like components.

That being said, since the Chevy Suburban is based on a truck, the Avalance is a truck.

Nice!

I saw this one a few years back, and if I were to own an El Camino, it's the body style I want. Dude had just bought it from his daughter, who had bought it from someone in her apartment complex, and he wasn't interested in selling. Not that I really need more projects.

I don't think I've ever seen one with a front end like that..... interesting.

Thats like a mid70s, not the best looking years for chevy cars.

73-75 IIRC. The Colonnade series of GM midsize cars were streamlined for homologation for NASCAR, which was becoming a big deal nationwide for GM, particularly Chevy. The Chevelle Laguna S3 is a prime example of this. In '73, Chevelle actually had an SS option for the station wagon, I know a guy on gmsb.com that has one!
